Re: Updated Calculations of Metal Feed Rates Used During the 2008 Test 

Burns at Veolia Environmental Services, LLC , Sauget, IL 

I. Introduction 

In a May 6, 2009 memorandum, the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) estimated heavy metal feed rates for test burns conducted in 2008 by 

Veolia Environmental Services, LL C (Veolia) on three incinerators at its facility in 

Sauget, Illinois. The EPA-estimated feed rates differed significantly from those provided 

by Veolia because of problems identified with Veolia's sampling and analysis. 

The May 6, 2009 memorandum concluded that the analytical data provided by 

Maxxam Analytical, Inc. (Maxxam) had been prepared by drying such that the results 

were expressed in dry-weight form. Unfortunately, it appeared that Maxxam used a 

drying procedure which did not adequately document the original moisture content of the 

samples. The results of subsequent reanalysis for moisture content by Maxxam were so 

different than moisture results obtained from both Veolia's secondary lab, PSC Republic 

Environmental Systems (Pennsylvania) LL C (PSC Republic) and EPA's Central 

Regional Laboratory (CRL) that EP A concluded the test burn feed rates should be 

adjusted to wet-weight using the PSC Republic moisture data. 

This memo includes new estimates based on a continued review of the 2008 data 

and methodology as well as additional information submitted by Veolia. Specifically, 

E PA reviewed Veolia's mercury spike preparation methodology and data and concluded 

that an estimate of spike mercury concentration based on Veolia's spike preparation 

procedures (including equipment specifications and interviews with Veolia personnel) 

most accurately represents the spike concentrations used in the test burn. EPA also 

conducted a preliminary validation of Veolia's feed data for metals as well as the 

moisture data from CRL.

II. Mercury Spike Feed Contribution 

Just before commencement of the Stack 3 Test Bum on August 4, 2008, Veolia verbally 

described the spike preparation procedures and provided various documentation 

including specification sheets for the mercury spike material and calibration records for 

scales and analytical balances (September 3, 2008 Memorandum to File). While on-site 

for then-scheduled Stack 4 Test Burn on August 13, 2008, Veolia provided a written 

narrative describing the procedure for preparing the mercury spike solution. Veolia also 

provided Metals Standard Preparation Lab Sheets documenting the procedure (November 

25, 2008 Memorandum to File). 

At that time, it was not clear which spike batches were used to make the various spike 

vials used throughout the tests. In late 2009, EPA requested and received additional 

documentation for spike preparation (Attachment 1). In March 2010, EP A also requested 

and received a copy of the Metals Standard Preparation Lab Sheet for the last two spike 

batches (Attachment 2). From all of this information, EP A was able to calculate 

minimum and maximum concentrations for all mercury spike batches (Attachment 3). 

The results of off-site analysis of the spike solutions collected both before and during the 

test burns approximate the calculated spike concentrations, however, these results were 

often higher than the maximum possible concentration based on the composition of the 

procured spike material. EP A noted numerous deficiencies in fhe laboratory reports of 

spike analysis including a lack of quality control analysis and missing documentation. 

Maxxam recommended that the spike results be "viewed with discretion," given these 

issues. 

E PA believes that spike concentrations calculated from spike preparation methodology 

using the stated composition and certified minimum purity of the original spike material 

is most representative of the spike material as used in the test burns. Table 1 summarizes 

the mercury spike rates for each run and an average of three runs for the 2008 test burns. 

Table 1. Mercury Spike Feed Rates (lbs/hr) for 2008 Test Burns Based on 

Documentation of Spike Preparation 

Stack Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Average 

2 0.00070 0.00070 0.00068 0.00069 

3 0.00070 0.00071 0.00070 0.00070 

4 0.0186 0.0184 0.0178 0.0183 

III. Maxxam Metals Feed Data 

In March 2010, we completed a data review of the 2008 Test Burn Reports focusing on 

data quality (see Attachment 4). EP A noted numerous deficiencies, including lack of 

complete documentation, unapproved deviation from approved quality assurance project 

plans, and missing quality control data. We believe there is greater uncertainty 

associated with these results and metals data for waste feed from the test burn should be 

2 
considered estimated for the purposes of establishing test feed rates. We believe that the 

provisional metals data can be used for establishing system removal efficiencies because 

the uncertainty is generally muted by the substantial contribution of spiking materials in 

each metal category. 

IV. Moisture Data 

As discussed in the May 6, 2009 memorandum, EP A noted substantial differences 

between the moisture data provided by PSC Republic and CR L from samples analyzed 

within a few weeks of the test burn and moisture data provided by Maxxam from samples 

analyzed months after the test. EP A reviewed the moisture data from PSC Republic and 

C R L and found only minor issues with methodology and documentation. We continue to 

believe the moisture content provided by PSC Republic and confirmed by CR L to be the 

most representative of test conditions. 

V. Feed Rate Summary

Preparin g RD F Laborator y Sample s February 9, 2005 

For Analysi s 

1 Scope 

1.1 The test method covers the preparation of refuse-derived fuel, RDF laboratory 

samples for analysis, the laboratory samples having previously obtained from 

representative RDF samples. 

2 Summary of Method 

2.1 Samples moisture is reduced by either air-drying to allow mechanical reduction 

of sample without significant change to the sample's furl properties or the 

moisture is removed by drying in a mechanical draft oven capable of 

maintaining a controlled temperature in the range from 95 - 105° C. The 

sample particle size is then reduced to a form suitable for analysis. 

2.2 If the air-drying procedure is used, it is important to measure and record the air 

dry moisture and the residual moisture in order to calculate the total moisture of 

the sample. 

2.3 If the sample is bone-dried, the total moisture must be measured and recorded. 

2.4 In either case, the sample must have a true moisture reading in order to 

calculate values on both and as received and dry basis. 

NOTE: Bone drying is normally used unless otherwise requested by the client. 

3 Apparatus and Materials 

3.1 Air-Drying Oven 

3.1.1 Drying oven - A large chamber mechanical draft oven capable of 

maintaining a controlled temperature in a range from 25 - 40° C. Air 

changes should be at the rate of 1 to 4 changes per minute. Air flow 

should be baffled to prevent samples from being blown out of the sample 

containers. 

3.2 Bone-Drying Oven 

3.2.1 Drying oven - A large chamber mechanical draft oven capable of 

maintaining a controlled temperature in a range from 95 -110° C. Air 

changes should be at the rate of 1 to 4 changes per minute. 

Page 2 

Air flow should be baffled to prevent samples from being blown out of 

the sample container. 
3.3 Drying Pan - A noncorroding pan or mesh basket to be used for holding the 

sample during the drying process. 

3.4 Balance - A balance of sufficient capacity to weigh the sample and container. 

The balance should have a sensitivity of 0.5 g. 

3.5 Sample Reduction 

3.5.1 A mill operating on the principle of cutting or shearing action will be used 

for sample particle size reduction. It will have the capability to regulate 

the particle size of the final product by means of either interchangeable 

screens or mill adjustments. The mill will be enclosed and should 

generate a minimum amount of heat during the milling process. The 

final product will pass through a 0.5 mm or smaller screen into a receiver 

integral with the mill. 

3.5.2 Analysis Sample Containers - Heavy, vapor impervious bags, properly 

sealed; or non-corroding cans, glass jars, or plastic bottles with airtight 

sealing covers, may be used to store RDF samples for analysis. 

Containers should be checked for suitability by measuring weight loss or 

gain of the sample and container stored for one (1) week under ambient 

laboratory conditions. Weight loss or gain should be less than 0.5 % of 

the sample weight stored in the container. 

3.5.3 Shredder - A laboratory shredder capable of shredding or cutting larger 

particle sizes of solid waste. The final product will pass through a two 

(2) inch or smaller screen into a receiver integral with the shredder. 

Reagents 

4.1 Because of the nature of solid wastes; shredding, grinding and/or pulverizing 

may be difficult at ambient temperatures. To improve the process of particle 

size reduction use ice, dry ice, or liquid nitrogen can be used to cool the 

sample during the grinding process. 

NOTE: It is important that any moisture added to the sample due to 

condensation when using the above cooling agents be removed 

prior to analysis. 

Page 3 

Sampling (When the Laboratory does the Sampling) 

5.1 RDF products are frequently nonhomogeneous. For this reason, significant 
care should be exercised to obtain a representative sample from the RDF lot to 

be characterized. 

5.2 The sampling method for this procedure should be based on the agreement 

between the client and the laboratory. 

5.3 For this procedure the laboratory sample size will normally not exceed 2 kg 

with some variation possible depending on the laboratory equipment available. 

5.4 Due to the heterogeneous nature of RDF, dividing a laboratory sample to a 

very small size, analysis sample may result in nonrepresentative results. Since 

milling operations mix the sample as well as reduce particle size, laboratory 

samples should not be divided before the initial preparation steps have been 

completed. 

Procedure 

6.1 Weigh the entire laboratory sample into a tared pan. Sample depth in the 

drying pan should be not greater than 100 mm (4 inches) and any lumps of 

sample should be broken up. Use more than one pan if necessary. If a very 

fine mesh-type pan is used, size the mesh such that the sample will not be lost. 

6.2 Air-Drying 

6.2.1 If samples are to be air dried, air dry samples at 10 -15° C above 

ambient, but not greater than 40° C until the weight loss is less than 

0.1 % of the sample weight per hour. 

6.3 Bone-Drying 

6.3.1 If the samples are to be bone dried, dry the samples at 107 + 3° C until 

the weight loss is less than 0.1 % of the sample weight per hour. To 

speed the drying process, the samples may be carefully stirred avoiding 

loss of sample. 

6.4 Record the air-dry loss or total moisture respective of the method used in 6.2 

or 6.3. 

6.5 Separate and weigh the millables and nonmillables for classification and use, 

or analysis, if necessary. Calculate the millables and nonmillables as 

described in Section 7.2. 

Page 4 

6.6 If the sample was air-dried (6.2), dry a representative portion of the airdried millables fraction at 107 + 3° C to constant weight as follows: 

6.6.1 Heat a clean, empty drying pan at a minimum temperature of 107 + 3° C 
for at least one (1) hour. When cooled, transfer to a desiccator and 

tare weigh to an accuracy of 0.5 g. 

6.6.2 Place the laboratory sample of RDF in the drying pan. Weigh the pan 

and the sample to an accuracy of 0.5 g. 

6.6.3 Place the pan and the sample in the drying oven at 107 + 3° C for a 

minimum of one (1) hour. 

6.6.4 Remove pan from the oven, desiccate to cool and weigh to the nearest 

0.5 g. 

6.6.5 Place back into the oven for one (1) hour at 107 + 3° C. 

6.6.6 Remove and place in desiccator, cool, and reweigh. 

6.6.7 Repeat steps 6.6.5 and 6.6.6 until the weight loss is less than 

0.1 % / hour. 

6.6.8 Calculate % RM on millable portion of the sample as described in 

Section 7.3. 

6.7 If the sample was air-dried (6.2), dry the nonmillables at 107 + 3° C to 

constant weight. Calculate the % RM on the nonmillables as described in 

Section 7.3. 

6.8 If the sample was boned-dried steps 6.6 need not be done. The total moisture 

was determined in Section 6.3 and 6.4. 

6.9 Reduce the air-dried or bone-dried millables to a smaller particle size using a 

cutting or shearing type shredder or mill. The final product should pass though 

a 0.5 mm or smaller screen. Depending on the specific RDF product, this step 

may involve more than one stage or reduction, that is, passing the sample 

through a shredder or mill with larger size screens first and then milling to pass 

the final screen. For many samples, dry ice or liquid nitrogen may be used to 

freeze the sample prior to milling. 

6.10 The mixed air-dried or bone-dried, finely ground laboratory sample can be 

further subdivided to an analysis-size sample. Retain a minimum of 50 g as 

the analysis sample. Any division method used will insure that the retained 

analysis sample is representative of the original laboratory sample. 

Page 5 

6.11 Keep the analysis sample in a labeled sample container having a moisture-tight 

seal. 

6.12 If the samples were air-dried, determine the residual moisture on the millable 

portion of the sample. 
Calculations 

7.1 Calculate the air-dry moisture as follows: 

ADL = [(W b -Wa)/Wb ] * 100 

Where: 

ADL = % air dry loss 

Wb = weight of sample before air drying 

Wa = weight of sample after air drying 

7.2 Calculate the millables and the nonmillables of the sample: 

M = Wm/Ws * 100 

Where: 

M = % millables 

Wm = weight of the millables 

Ws = weight of the samples (millables and nonmillables) 

NM = Wnm/Ws * 100 

Where: 

NM = % nonmillables 

Wnm = weight of the nonmillables 

Ws = weight of the sample 

NOTE: Nonmillables usually are noncombustible and can be used in 

contributing to the ash value or noncombustible value portion of 

the sample. 

Page 6 

7.3 Calculation of residual moistures: 

wt. Of AD sample after drying 

RM - * 100 

wt. Of AD sample before drying 
7.4 If the samples were air-dried and residual moisture done on either the 

millables, and / or nonmillables, calculate the total moisture as follows: 

TM = AD + 

100 

[ ( 100-AD ) ( RM ) jj 

Where: 

TM = Total Moisture, % 

AD = Air Dry loss, % 

RM = Residual Mositure, %

Memorandum to File: Data Review of Veolia Trial Burn Reports October, 2008

Data Review of Veolia Trial Burn Reports October, 2008 

File (] { 

This is a summary of USEPA LCD staff review of Veolia's three trial bum reports 

submitted October, 2008 titled: 

"Metals Performance Test Report Prepared for the Fixed Hearth Incinerator 

Number 2 in Accordance with 40 CFR § 63 Subpart EEE" 

"Metals Performance Test Report Prepared for the Fixed Hearth Incinerator 

Number 3 in Accordance with 40 CFR § 63 Subpart EEE" 

"Metals Performance Test Report Prepared for the Rotary Kiln Incinerator 

Number 4 in Accordance with 40 CFR § 63 Subpart EEE" 

The primary focus of this review was given to data quality, accuracy, precision, and 

representativeness. The following deficiencies were noted during the review: 

1) The reports do not reference the test plans submitted by Veolia. 

2) Maxxam Laboratory did not denote the bulk and containerized solids waste feed 

analysis as wet or dry weight. USEPA determined that the Maxxam laboratory 

results are dry weight reported. Maxxam dried the samples before analysis 

without performing percent moisture analysis. 

3) The mercury spike concentrations used in trial bum calculations should be the 

laboratory's intended preparation concentrations followed by confirmation 

analysis. These reports incorrectly use the confirmatory results as the spike 

concentrations. 

4) The reports do not include analytical methods standard operation procedures. 

5) The reports state that the analytical data has been validated and all data is 

acceptable. However, the data has not been properly validated and there are many 

quality control problems (see examples below). The analytical data needs to be 

validated by a qualified professional and all quality control problems need to be 

addressed clearly. 

6) The waste profile reports, called TWI Lab Report, reports sample averages and do 

not report individual sample results. They do not report any quality control data. 

They have improper cross-outs and have questionable results that may be 

detection limits instead of quantitated values. 

7) There are no quality control data for any spike analysis. 
X) There are no chain-of-custody forms for any spike analysis. 

9) There are no completed chain-of-custody forms for samples sent to Maxxam or 

PSC Republic laboratories. 

10) The PSC Republic holding times for percent moisture analysis extend from 9 to 

16 days. Percent moisture analysis should be performed as soon as possible after 

sampling. 

11) The subcontracted laboratories, PSC Republic and Maxxam Mississauga, do not 

have NELAC accreditation for specific media. 

12) The Chemical Waste management Waste Profile Reports contain results that 

appear to be analytical detection limits and not detected results. 

13) The Unit 2 report states that the mercury blank spike for stack analysis had a low 

recovery. This should be explained. 

14) The Unit 2, week one report states that the metals analysis for feed waste results 

required sample dilution due to sample matrix. This needs to be checked and 

explained. 

15) The Unit 2, week one report does not report any duplicate analysis results for the 

metals analysis for feed waste results. 

16) The Unit 2, week one report states that the metals analysis for feed waste results 

had 0% spike recovery for arsenic. The arsenic spike analysis was reported as 

O.Oppm. 

17) The Unit 3 report, stack sample analysis report has an unclear explanation of the 

mercury spike recoveries. 

18) The Unit 3 report, feed waste analytical results have several sections that have 

quality control comments that appear to have been concealed by white-out. 

19) The Unit 3 report, feed waste analytical results have general comments on page 

11 of 14 that explain the mercury spike analyses are not reliable. 

20) The Unit 3 report, feed waste analytical results for metals and mercury do not 

have duplicate results. 

21) The Unit 4 report, stack sample analytical results state report the mercury spike 

result is low and the metals results have several quality control irregularities. 

22) The Unit 4 report, feed waste analytical results report a non-calculable result for 

chromium recovery and irregularities with mercury quality control. 

Given the numerous explained and unexplained deficiencies in these reports, we believe 

there is greater uncertainty associated with these results. As such, this data should be 

regarded as provisional.
